Polish the restoration using customary polishers, such as rubber polishers and silicone wheels.
Polish the surface with Universal Polishing Paste and e.g. goat hair brush.
Finishing
Smooth out the surface (convex areas) of the natural structures, as well as the marginal ridges with rubber polishers and
silicone polishing wheels so that they exhibit an extra lustre after high-gloss polishing. Silicone polishing wheels are also
ideally suitable for finishing metal-composite interfaces.
Prepolishing and high-gloss polishing
the restorations are prepolished and polished to a high gloss using a goat hair brush, cotton or leather buff as well as
Universal Polishing Paste. Use low speed and limited pressure for prepolishing and high-gloss polishing. adjust the
pressure with the handpiece, not the polishing motor. In order to optimally polish the interdental areas and occlusal
surfaces, we recommend modifying the goat hair brushes to become star-shaped so that only the desired areas can be
polished due to the smaller size of the brush. depending on the type of high gloss desired, leather buffing wheels can be
used to achieve a high shine, while cotton buffs are used to achieve a lesser degree of lustre.
– Microroughness on the finished veneering surface is conducive to plaque accumulation. Therefore, polish
carefully.
– Pay particular attention to crown margins, interdental areas, occlusal surfaces and the basal rest of pontics.
